Donate your used car, truck, boat or RV to the Arc of Nebraska and we'll arrange to have it picked up free of charge. We accept most vehicles, even if they don't run. Some restrictions may apply on older vehicles, though. It's easy and convenient, and you'll be eligible for a tax deduction as well!

Why donate my vehicle?

· It's much easier to donate your used vehicle than it is to sell it yourself.  And the tax savings might even be more than what you would receive from a trade in. You’ll be spared the ordeal of selling your vehicle to a stranger.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.  What can I donate?

We accept most vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RV's.

2.  Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes.  We are classified with the IRS as non-profit charitable organization.  Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.  Individual tax situations vary so please check with a tax professional to determine what if any tax benefit you may receive.

3.  What do I need to donate my vehicle?

We would like the title to the vehicle, but if you do not have it please call us anyways. 

4.  My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?

Yes, we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing). 

 5.  Can you pick up vehicles in all 50 states?

Yes, we are able to pick up accepted vehicles in the continental U.S. and Hawaii. 

6.  How will the car be picked up?

We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed, bonded and insured towing company.

7.  How long will it take to pick up my car?

You will at least be contacted within three or four business days at the most.  If you need your car picked up sooner, please let us know as we may be able to make those arrangements as well.

8. How is the value of my car determined?

The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of (a) the value of your vehicle up to $500 or (b) if we sell the vehicle for more than $500 we will mail you a postcard with that value for your tax purposes. 

For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor's Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.  Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.
